I was taking a group of building service engineers through the 18th. We were discussing the use of Appendix 5. One chap was very exercised about the BA3 category which is described as utilization-capability-handicapped. He claims the latter word was exorcised from common parlance years ago and would be offensive to many. I am not that politically correct but maybe he has a valid argument,.
I need to step in here and apologise on behalf of The IET for any offence caused by the use of this term in BS 7671.
Actually, I don't think you do - saying sorry implies you (as in The IET) meant to offend someone - which I'm pretty sure isn't the case. Change the wording, for sure, but in another decade or so, it'll be changing again.
